About our sink repair in Culverhays
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Culverhays
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
Everywhere in the UK, Culverhays included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Signs you need sink repair in Culverhays

Look out for any of the following:
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving

What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
