Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Upper Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need sink repair in Upper Street
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks

Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
