Sink repair at your home in Potto
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Potto
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repairing versus replacing in Potto
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Potto get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Questions from Potto
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
