Sink repair in Waterlane without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Waterlane
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Waterlane and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
FAQs for Waterlane
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Waterlane?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Waterlane and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterlane as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
