Sink repair in Netley without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Netley?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Netley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Netley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Netley. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Netley questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
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 will do the rest.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Netley and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Are there extra charges for Netley?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
