About our sink repair in Powderham
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped basin edge, in Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Other services in Powderham
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Landlords, agents and businesses in Powderham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Powderham
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we’re called out for in Powderham
