Sink repair in Trebarber without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Trebarber questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What affects the price in Trebarber
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
