How we handle sink repair in Little London
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing

Your questions about sink repair in Little London
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Little London.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Little London. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
