Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
About our sink repair in Waterdale
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and cracks starting at the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
FAQs for Waterdale
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
