- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our sink repair in Dorchester
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

FAQs for Dorchester

How do I get a price for sink repair in Dorchester?

Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
