Sink repair at your home in Southcote
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Your questions about sink repair in Southcote
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Central Bedfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southcote
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Central Bedfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Southcote
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
