Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Your questions about sink repair in Ventnor
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What affects the price in Ventnor
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ventnor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Ventnor
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Ventnor
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
