What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Waterloo and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Waterloo: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you come to Waterloo?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Waterloo from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Waterloo
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
Before you book anyone
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterloo
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
