Chipped basin edge, before and after repair

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Westminster. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Westminster get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Westminster

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Westminster.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
