Sink Repair for Poltimore homes
Sink repair across Poltimore and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we handle sink repair in Poltimore
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Poltimore as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Poltimore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Poltimore
How do I get a price for sink repair in Poltimore?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
When to call us in Poltimore
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
