Sink repair in Mill End, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an antique basin with chips, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Mill End
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Mill End included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
