Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Sink repair in South Horrington, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
In and around South Horrington, older homes can have basins that are hard to replace like for like. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in South Horrington
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. In an older home in a village like South Horrington, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Signs you need sink repair in South Horrington
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
If you manage a building such as Horrington Primary School, we repair toilets and washrooms as well as work in homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
