Sink repair at your home in Timber Bush
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Timber Bush. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about sink repair in Timber Bush
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
