Sink Repair in Dorset

Our sink repair service in Dorset

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and chips around the rim.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Pricing in Dorset

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Around Weymouth

In Weymouth, that means homes near The Star Public House, Beechcroft St Pauls CofE Primary School and Nothe Gardens and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Budmouth College (1.2 miles west) and Church of St Paul (under half a mile south). There’s a railway station in Weymouth itself: Weymouth station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Portwey Hospital (0.6 miles south) and Weymouth Timewalk Museum (0.9 miles west). For a walk, there’s Jordan Hill and Radipole Lake.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlord and trade work in Dorset

For anyone letting property in or around Dorset, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dorset. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dorset. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together.

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Dorset questions

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Dorset is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
