Sink repair in Bonvilston without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Bonvilston
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What affects the price in Bonvilston
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
