Sink repair at your home in Slatyford
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. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Slatyford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
