Sink repair at your home in Little Heath
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 work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and a crazed, tired basin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Little Heath, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Heath use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Little Heath

Little Heath: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What your basin is made of matters
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
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
