Sink Repair in Greenhithe
We travel to Greenhithe for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair in Greenhithe without replacing anything
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Greenhithe as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greenhithe
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

More services for Greenhithe
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Questions from Greenhithe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you need sink repair in Greenhithe?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
