Sink Repair for Piccotts End homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for householders, landlords and businesses in Piccotts End. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Piccotts End. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
