Sink repair in Regents Park, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Regents Park
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Regents Park. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
