It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Your questions about sink repair in Seven Dials

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. 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.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
