How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
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.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit

South Chingford questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you work in South Chingford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to South Chingford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I get a price for sink repair in South Chingford?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
