Sink repair at your home in Little Ditton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are often asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Ditton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before you book

When to call us in Little Ditton
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Questions from Little Ditton
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How it works
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. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
