About our sink repair in South Kensington
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin, we can typically put it right.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for South Kensington. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
