About our sink repair in Charlton Down
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Charlton Down
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Charlton Down?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Charlton Down and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
