Sink repair at your home in Bodieve
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common questions in Bodieve
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Bodieve and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
