Sink & basin repair in Oakleigh Park, Greater London
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Oakleigh Park, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Sink repair in Oakleigh Park, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Oakleigh Park. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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 price.

Common questions in Oakleigh Park
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
