Sink repair at your home in Drimpton

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Drimpton questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work in Drimpton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Drimpton and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Drimpton

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips around the rim

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What affects the price in Drimpton

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Drimpton. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Drimpton clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
