Questions from Dowlish Ford
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
Across the UK, so Dowlish Ford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dowlish Ford
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
