About our sink repair in Inkerman
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and knocks from hair straighteners.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Inkerman
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inkerman as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
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
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Inkerman get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
