What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Sink repair at your home in Summerlands
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for Summerlands
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Summerlands?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Summerlands?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Summerlands from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What we are called out for in Summerlands
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
