Sink repair in Blandford Forum without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What else we do in Blandford Forum
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When to call us in Blandford Forum
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners

- Crazing in the glaze

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Blandford Forum, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
