How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we handle sink repair in Belchalwell Street

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Belchalwell Street questions

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

Everywhere in the UK, Belchalwell Street included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DT11 postcode.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
