Sink Repair for Hound homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Hound, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Sink repair in Hound, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
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.

What happens next?

What happens if you find more damage?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
