Sink repair at your home in Milton
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped basin edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need sink repair in Milton?

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Milton questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Milton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Milton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
