Sink Repair in Hoppers Corner
Sink repair across Hoppers Corner and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair in Hoppers Corner without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Hoppers Corner: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Hoppers Corner?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
