Sink repair at your home in Porlock
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Porlock: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Porlock?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
Across the UK, and that includes Porlock. Prices do not change with location.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.

What affects the price in Porlock
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Porlock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Porlock and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
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.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
