Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Southampton
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Southampton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southampton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southampton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Signs you need sink repair in Southampton
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Vanity unit basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. 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.
