Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
Canford Magna questions
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Canford Magna
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Do you need sink repair in Canford Magna?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
