Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Your questions about sink repair in Kennington
Are there extra charges for Kennington?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
