Sink Repair for Portchester homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Portchester, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
How we handle sink repair in Portchester
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portchester
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.
If you manage property in Portchester, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Common problems we fix in Portchester
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

FAQs for Portchester
Is repairing better than replacing?
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.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
