Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

South Petherton questions
How much does sink repair cost in South Petherton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA13 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
We cover the entire UK, including South Petherton and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
