Sink repair in Pear Tree, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
