About our sink repair in Gipsy Hill
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Gipsy Hill
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Gipsy Hill
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Gipsy Hill.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need sink repair in Gipsy Hill?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
