Sink & basin repair in Copnor, Portsmouth

- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
How we handle sink repair in Copnor
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Copnor
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Copnor
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Copnor customers choose us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted

- Colour mixed on the day to match

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Questions from Copnor
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you come to Copnor?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Copnor for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Copnor and the rest of Portsmouth. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
