Sink repair in Upper Dean without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Upper Dean. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
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. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What else we do in Upper Dean
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Upper Dean: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Dean
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
