Sink repair at your home in Fishponds
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Fishponds?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common questions in Fishponds
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
