Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Sink repair at your home in Abbotsbury
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Abbotsbury questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Abbotsbury.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Abbotsbury. Prices don’t change with location.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What affects the price in Abbotsbury
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
