Sink repair at your home in Chalbury Common

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chalbury Common and across Dorset.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chalbury Common, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chalbury Common

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Chalbury Common

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin
