When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Work done at your home or business
