Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

FAQs for Upton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Signs you need sink repair in Upton

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
