Sink repair in Five Ways without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Five Ways
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Five Ways as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Five Ways
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin

- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
We price from photos so you don’t 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Five Ways: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
