DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

Your questions about sink repair in Bridestowe
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlord and trade work in Bridestowe
