How we handle sink repair in Stroud Green
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with a crack near the taps and chips around the rim, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stroud Green
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Common questions in Stroud Green
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Stroud Green?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your GL10 postcode.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
