Sink repair in Keymer, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Keymer

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
