Sink Repair in Upchurch
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Upchurch, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Upchurch, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
About our sink repair in Upchurch
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upchurch as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins

Repairing versus replacing in Upchurch
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
