FAQs for Bridport
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Sink repair in Bridport, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bridport
For anyone letting property in or around Bridport, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Signs you need sink repair in Bridport
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
