Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Southgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Southgate
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Southgate questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Southgate?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Southgate and the rest of Ceredigion. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
