About our sink repair in Netherclay
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Netherclay and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

- Antique & period basins

- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing in Netherclay
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
