Sink repair in Upper Westholme, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Upper Westholme and across Somerset.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What affects the price in Upper Westholme
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
