Sink repair in Harlington, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Other services in Harlington
Harlington: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you come to Harlington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Harlington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
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 will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harlington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we’re called out for in Harlington

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
