DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What else we do in Brinscombe
Repair or replace in Brinscombe?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
For a price in Brinscombe, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Brinscombe. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Brinscombe

Your questions about sink repair in Brinscombe
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BS26 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
