The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need sink repair in Temple
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
What affects the price in Temple
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Temple. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Temple clients choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
See our prices page.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Your questions about sink repair in Temple
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
