A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to The Flints. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in The Flints
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Flints use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in The Flints
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
