Sink repair for Portbury homes

Portbury questions

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Portbury?

We do. We send a technician to Portbury for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the whole of North Somerset?

Everywhere in the UK, Portbury included. Travel is included in the price.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Sink repair in Portbury without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Portbury and across North Somerset.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portbury

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Portbury get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
