About our sink repair in Pot Bank
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Pot Bank
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Pot Bank?
We do. We send a technician to Pot Bank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
