Sink Repair for Tycoch homes
Our repair technicians come to Tycoch for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Sink repair in Tycoch, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Tycoch
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tycoch as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Common questions in Tycoch
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you need sink repair in Tycoch?
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Fine cracks across the glaze

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
