What else we do in East Boldre
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Signs you need sink repair in East Boldre
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repairing versus replacing in East Boldre
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
