How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Baffins questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Portsmouth.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Baffins. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Baffins?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
