Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

FAQs for West End

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes West End. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin 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 repairing them early keeps the job simple.
