Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

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.

Broadwindsor: your questions answered

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.

How much does sink repair cost in Broadwindsor?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT8 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Broadwindsor. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
