Sink & basin repair in Smithfield, Greater London
Sink repair across Smithfield and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
