How we handle sink repair in Waddicombe
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Your questions about sink repair in Waddicombe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing in Waddicombe
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Waddicombe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
