Sink repair at your home in Ilminster
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and chips from dropped toiletries, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Ilminster
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Ilminster questions
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does sink repair cost in Ilminster?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA19 postcode.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
