What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Your questions about sink repair in Silver Hill
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Silver Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Common problems we fix in Silver Hill
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
