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
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How we handle sink repair in Podmore
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Podmore
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Podmore questions
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you come to Podmore?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Podmore from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Repair or replace in Podmore?
