Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Your questions about sink repair in Upper Harbledown
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Upper Harbledown
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

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

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
