Advice
Sink repair in Weston Underwood, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Weston Underwood
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Weston Underwood?
We do. We send a technician to Weston Underwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go 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. Early repair keeps it a small job.
