About our sink repair in Landwade
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Landwade
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in Landwade
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in Landwade contact us are:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring

Questions from Landwade
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
