Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Your questions about sink repair in Bissom
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bissom. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bissom. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Signs you need sink repair in Bissom
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
