Sink repair at your home in Upton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
FAQs for Upton
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What affects the price in Upton
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upton. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
