Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair in Tooting without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We are often asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Tooting
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
FAQs for Tooting

Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
