How we handle sink repair in South Bank
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in South Bank
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to South Bank. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in South Bank
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, South Bank included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Signs you need sink repair in South Bank
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Bank
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
