Sink Repair in Monkhill
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Monkhill, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair at your home in Monkhill
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Monkhill

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, 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 polish the repair to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Monkhill. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Monkhill questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
