How we handle sink repair in Combe St Nicholas
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and an antique basin with chips, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Combe St Nicholas
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Combe St Nicholas. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need sink repair in Combe St Nicholas?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
