Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we handle sink repair in Porlock Weir
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Porlock Weir: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Do you come to Porlock Weir?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Porlock Weir from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Porlock Weir, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
