About our sink repair in Abbotskerswell
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Abbotskerswell
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Abbotskerswell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
For a price in Abbotskerswell, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
