Sink Repair for Tresamble homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Tresamble, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Tresamble
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
FAQs for Tresamble
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work in Tresamble?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tresamble. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
