Sink repair at your home in Inkpen
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Inkpen
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Inkpen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Inkpen

The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I book?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Inkpen
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
If you’re in Inkpen and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What else we do in Inkpen
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need sink repair in Inkpen
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
