How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Olaves
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Do you need sink repair in St Olaves?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
