About our sink repair in Finmere
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Finmere
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Fine cracks across the glaze

FAQs for Finmere
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace in Finmere?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
