Millwall questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle sink repair in Millwall
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Millwall
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Millwall use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
