Sink repair at your home in Victoria Park
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Victoria Park questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
