Sink repair at your home in St Luke's
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
