Sink repair at your home in Little Portugal
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Little Portugal
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
When to call us in Little Portugal
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
