Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.

Repair or replace in Upton?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Upton questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
