Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
When to call us in Holborn Hill

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
