Your questions about sink repair in Portmore
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need sink repair in Portmore
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
