Problem with your basin in Portskewett? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Sink repair at your home in Portskewett
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portskewett
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Monmouthshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
