Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you cover St Kew Highway?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to St Kew Highway from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, St Kew Highway included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for sink repair in St Kew Highway?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Landlord and trade work in St Kew Highway
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
