How we handle sink repair in Woolmersdon
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Woolmersdon
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Woolmersdon

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
