Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Little Wakering, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Little Wakering
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you come to Little Wakering?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Little Wakering from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Wakering. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
