Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Signs you need sink repair in Swiss Cottage
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swiss Cottage. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Swiss Cottage
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you cover Swiss Cottage?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Swiss Cottage. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Swiss Cottage and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
