How we handle sink repair in North Holmwood
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We’re often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Holmwood
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in North Holmwood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in North Holmwood
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. 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.
Why North Holmwood customers choose us
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Your questions about sink repair in North Holmwood
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in North Holmwood get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
