Sink repair at your home in West Stour
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare

- Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Stour. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
