About our sink repair in Blacknoll
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Blacknoll: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

What else we do in Blacknoll
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Blacknoll
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Blacknoll. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- 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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Blacknoll
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
