Sink & basin repair in Portsmouth
Local sink repair for Portsmouth: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Portsmouth
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What else we do in Portsmouth
Repair or replace in Portsmouth?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
