About our sink repair in Pin Mill
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Pin Mill
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Pin Mill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pin Mill. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Pin Mill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
