Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Sink repair at your home in Polsloe
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s chips around the rim and knocks from hair straighteners, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price

What else we do in Polsloe
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Polsloe: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Polsloe?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Repairing versus replacing in Polsloe
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
