Your questions about sink repair in Southsea
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover the entire of Portsmouth?
All of Portsmouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Southsea
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Colour mixed on the day to match

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
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.
