Sink repair at your home in Pettinain
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. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pettinain
For anyone letting property in or around Pettinain, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Pettinain: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
For a price in Pettinain, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
