Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What else we do in Poundisford
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Poundisford questions
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Poundisford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Poundisford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Poundisford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
