How we handle sink repair in Poolfold
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common questions in Poolfold
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Poolfold included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
