Sink repair in South Widcombe without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Do you need sink repair in South Widcombe?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

South Widcombe questions
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for South Widcombe?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
