What affects the price in Cerne Abbas
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cerne Abbas, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Questions from Cerne Abbas
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Repair or replace in Cerne Abbas?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What else we do in Cerne Abbas
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Cerne Abbas

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Cerne Abbas
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
