Sink repair at your home in Dunster
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Do you need sink repair in Dunster?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Dunster, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

More services for Dunster
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common questions in Dunster
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Dunster
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
