About our sink repair in Horney Common
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

- A chipped vanity basin

Common questions in Horney Common
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Horney Common. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlord and trade work in Horney Common
For anyone letting property in or around Horney Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
