Sink repair in Merton, done in place
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. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Merton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Merton. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
