Sink repair at your home in Bishops Lydeard
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What affects the price in Bishops Lydeard
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bishops Lydeard. The price depends on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
FAQs for Bishops Lydeard

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
