Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Sink repair in Dorchester, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and crazing in the glaze, we can generally put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

Repairing versus replacing in Dorchester
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dorchester. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Dorchester
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Dorchester?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Dorchester is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
