About our sink repair in Nupdown
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we are called out for in Nupdown
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about sink repair in Nupdown
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Nupdown?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Nupdown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Nupdown
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Nupdown, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
