Sink repair in Tovil, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Tovil. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
FAQs for Tovil
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
