Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Signs you need sink repair in Milton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze

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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Milton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE65 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
