Sink repair in Sutton without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
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.

Sutton: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sutton.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we are called out for in Sutton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
