Sink & basin repair in Helland, Somerset
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Helland, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Sink repair in Helland, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need sink repair in Helland?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Questions from Helland
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
