About our sink repair in Van
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Van questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Common problems we fix in Van
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repairing versus replacing in Van
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
