Repairing versus replacing in Mildmay
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before booking
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we handle sink repair in Mildmay
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and an antique basin with chips.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Mildmay
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What affects the price in Mildmay
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your N1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When to call us in Mildmay
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Mildmay: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Mildmay?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Mildmay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are there extra charges for Mildmay?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mildmay
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
