About our sink repair in Watersheddings
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Watersheddings. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 often lifts.
