About our sink repair in Molehill Green
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Molehill Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Molehill Green?
We do. We send a technician to Molehill Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Molehill Green?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Molehill Green
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Molehill Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
