Sink Repair near Bristol

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Bristol

Do you protect the room?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will I see the repair?

We mix the colour on the day to match your basin, and the repair is polished to blend in.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, 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 you fix a cracked sink?

Often, yes, especially on the rim or front edge. A crack that leaks may need the basin replacing.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Bristol?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you cover Bristol?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bristol. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much does sink repair cost in Bristol?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

When to call us in Bristol

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste, where fittings are tightened against the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Broken corners and edges
  • Stains and worn glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage around taps and wastes
