Sink repair at your home in Medbourne
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and chips from dropped toiletries.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out

Medbourne questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Medbourne?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Medbourne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Medbourne, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What else we do in Medbourne
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
