- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Guy's Head questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Common problems we fix in Guy's Head
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Guy's Head
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Guy's Head use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
