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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 price the job.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about sink repair in South Ealing
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for sink repair in South Ealing?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your W5 postcode.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
