DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

About our sink repair in Seven Dials

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
