About our sink repair in Ditcheat
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Ditcheat, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ditcheat. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ditcheat questions
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Ditcheat?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
We cover the entire UK, including Ditcheat and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
