Sink repair in South Shore without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and a chipped vanity basin, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for South Shore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How the visit works

- 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
