DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Sink repair in Matching Green, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix an original basin worth saving and a chipped basin edge, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Matching Green
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Matching Green
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin

Questions from Matching Green
How much does sink repair cost in Matching Green?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Matching Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
