Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Sink repair in Old Town without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Old Town questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Old Town?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
Do you need sink repair in Old Town?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
