How we handle sink repair in Podimore
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Podimore and across Somerset.

Your questions about sink repair in Podimore
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Podimore get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Podimore, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Podimore
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
