- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
Sink repair in Harborne, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Harborne
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What areas do you cover?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your B32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Harborne
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
