Sink repair at your home in Chilcombe
We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common problems we fix in Chilcombe
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Common questions in Chilcombe
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
We work UK-wide, so Chilcombe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
