Sink repair in Itchen without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Itchen
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
