Sink repair at your home in Horsley Hill
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Horsley Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
FAQs for Horsley Hill
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsley Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Horsley Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
