Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
About our sink repair in Puckaster
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Puckaster: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Isle of Wight.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What we are called out for in Puckaster
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO38 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not 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.
Why Puckaster clients choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
