Sink & basin repair in Greenham, Somerset
Our technicians come to Greenham for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Sink repair in Greenham without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and a period basin that needs restoring, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Landlord and trade work in Greenham
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Common questions in Greenham
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
