Sink repair in Metcombe without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Questions from Metcombe
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

What affects the price in Metcombe
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Metcombe, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Metcombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
