Sink repair in Nythe without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
In and around Nythe, a basin repair is usually a short visit, with the basin left in place.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Nythe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Repairing versus replacing in Nythe
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. In a smaller place like Nythe, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair needs just one visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Nythe is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you remove the sink?

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Nythe
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Rented homes near Swindon station (about 1.9 miles west) change hands often, and repairing basins between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
