- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit

About our sink repair in Chilfrome
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Chilfrome
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Chilfrome?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
