FAQs for Atrim
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What else we do in Atrim
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Atrim
If you manage property in Atrim, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps

- Who turns up on the day

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Atrim
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
