Sink repair in Ratford without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Ratford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ratford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Ratford: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
