About our sink repair in Southerton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southerton as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Southerton
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we are called out for in Southerton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are
