Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Related advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Buckland Common get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need sink repair in Buckland Common
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common questions in Buckland Common
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
