Landlord and trade work in Portmead
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Portmead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What your basin is made of matters
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. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Portmead. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Portmead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Portmead: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Portmead and the rest of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
