How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about sink repair in Timberscombe
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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 keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TA24 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Timberscombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repairing versus replacing in Timberscombe
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What a repair can’t fix
