The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit

- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional 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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Your questions about sink repair in Greenham
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
