DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair in Southford, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips around the rim and cracks starting at the waste, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Southford: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Are there extra charges for Southford?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What your basin is made of matters
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
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southford
If you manage property in Southford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
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
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
