What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Your questions about sink repair in South Willesborough
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How do I get a price for sink repair in South Willesborough?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in South Willesborough
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
