About our sink repair in Teddington
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and fine cracks across the glaze, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Homes in Teddington often have compact bathrooms and cloakrooms, so a chipped basin is hard to miss. We repair it in place, without disconnecting anything.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. For a flat in Teddington, replacement can also disturb neighbours below and need the building manager’s say-so. A repair is quieter and quicker.
Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again. For a visit in Teddington, parking and stairs are the things to plan: let us know the floor, whether there’s a lift and about permits or bays.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
