About our sink repair in Poltesco
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we’re called out for in Poltesco
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Poltesco
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Poltesco, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Questions from Poltesco
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
