Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How we handle sink repair in Waterloo
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Waterloo
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairing versus replacing in Waterloo
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. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
