What else we do in Bedminster
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bedminster. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Bedminster and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Common questions in Bedminster
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
