How we handle sink repair in Telegraph
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Questions from Telegraph
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Telegraph included. Travel is included in the price.
How much does sink repair cost in Telegraph?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR21 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Telegraph. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
