About our sink repair in Gibbonsdown
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gibbonsdown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What else we do in Gibbonsdown
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we’re called out for in Gibbonsdown
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
