Questions from Pontshill
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pontshill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
