How we handle sink repair in Bournemouth
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Bournemouth questions
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you come to Bournemouth?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bournemouth and the rest of Bournemouth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bournemouth
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in Bournemouth, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Bournemouth

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Bournemouth and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What’s near Bournemouth

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
