About our sink repair in Withycombe
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common questions in Withycombe
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Withycombe
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Withycombe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Withycombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Withycombe. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
