Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early

- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Paradise. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Paradise. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Your questions about sink repair in Paradise
Do you work in Paradise?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Paradise for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA16 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Do you need sink repair in Paradise?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
