Sink repair in St Lawrence Bay, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around St Lawrence Bay, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price

St Lawrence Bay: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
