Sink Repair for Henley Street homes
Problem with your basin in Henley Street? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not 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. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Henley Street. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
