Repair or replace in Pilton?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Do you need sink repair in Pilton?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Common questions in Pilton
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work in Pilton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pilton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
