Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Chideock

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
