Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Signs you need sink repair in Kingston
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
