Common questions in Corfe Mullen

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
