What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Sink repair in Lower Upham without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
