Sink repair in Shallowford, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
