Your questions about sink repair in Blackdown
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Blackdown and the surrounding area
Blackdown is about 6 miles south-east of Chard, in Dorset. Anywhere in DT8, a technician comes to you. Blackdown is one of 462 towns and villages in Dorset where we work.
Jobs in DT8 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you are just outside Blackdown, we cover Greenham (1 mile north-east), Thorncombe (1 mile west), Burstock (1 mile east), Drimpton (2 miles north-east) and Netherhay (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Bridport (8 miles south-east), Lyme Regis (7 miles south-west), Beaminster (5 miles east), Allington (7 miles south-east), Charmouth (6 miles south) and Yetminster (13 miles north-east).
Local landmarks in Blackdown

Well-known places in the area include Marshwood Castle (3.2 miles south) and Crewkerne Community Hospital (4.8 miles north-east). The countryside around Blackdown includes Payne's Down.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What affects the price in Blackdown
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Blackdown. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page.
