Your questions about sink repair in Pooley Bridge
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Pooley Bridge?
We do. We send a technician to Pooley Bridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Pooley Bridge
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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
