DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our sink repair in Uplands
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
Uplands questions
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Uplands included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
