Backwell Common: your questions answered
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Backwell Common as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Signs you need sink repair in Backwell Common
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace in Backwell Common?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
