Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

The size and number of damaged areas
Whether we combine several jobs
How easy the damage is to reach
The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A close-up of the damage, in focus
The material, if you know it
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Bearwood, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use mild cleaners only
Use a heat mat for hair tools

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Bearwood: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bournemouth.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
The finish is matched to the glaze.
We polish it into the surrounding surface.
Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

Ensure the area is dry
Let us know which floor the room is on
Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
