Sink repair in Mettingham without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and an original basin worth saving, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Advice
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 polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mettingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
What we’re called out for in Mettingham
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin

Your questions about sink repair in Mettingham
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
