How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in Uplyme
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Uplyme clients choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Uplyme, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
