We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TW9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about sink repair in Richmond
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Richmond?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Richmond from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repairing versus replacing in Richmond
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
