About our sink repair in Hilton
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and an antique basin with chips.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hilton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hilton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. 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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hilton: your questions answered
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Hilton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Repair or replace in Hilton?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hilton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
