Sink repair in Friday Hill without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Your questions about sink repair in Friday Hill
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
