About our sink repair in Southwark
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Southwark
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SE1 postcode.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Southwark, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southwark use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Southwark. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we are called out for in Southwark
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
