When to call us in Puddle Dock
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add 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.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Puddle Dock
- Vanity unit basins

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Puddle Dock use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
