How we handle sink repair in Sydenham
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped basin edge.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sydenham and across Somerset.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sydenham. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sydenham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Sydenham
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work

Sydenham questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
