Sink repair in Minstead, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Minstead: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Minstead?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Minstead. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can I add another job to the visit?

What else we do in Minstead

Materials we work on in Minstead
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Minstead
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Minstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
If you’re in Minstead and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
