About our sink repair in Tickenham

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Somerset.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Repair or replace in Tickenham?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Tickenham: your questions answered

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Tickenham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tickenham and the rest of North Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tickenham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
