Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts 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.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Marylebone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Marylebone questions

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in Marylebone?

We do. We send a technician to Marylebone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
