If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Sink repair in St Brides without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Questions from St Brides
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to St Brides?
We do. Repair technicians travel to St Brides from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
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.
When to call us in St Brides
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
