What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Sink repair at your home in Chard
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chard. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Chard: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
