About our sink repair in Durweston
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Durweston. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Durweston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs

Durweston: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
