Sink repair in Knowle, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Knowle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Knowle
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you work in Knowle?
We do. Technicians travel to Knowle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When to call us in Knowle
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Knowle, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
