Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Charlton Horethorne
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Charlton Horethorne. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Are there extra charges for Charlton Horethorne?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Signs you need sink repair in Charlton Horethorne
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
