Sink Repair in Old Coulsdon
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Old Coulsdon, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin, we can usually put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Old Coulsdon questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Old Coulsdon
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
