Sink Repair for Sissinghurst homes
Our technicians come to Sissinghurst for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Sink repair in Sissinghurst without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How it works
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 morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
