Sink & basin repair in East Stoke, Dorset
Fixed-price sink repair in East Stoke and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Sink repair in East Stoke, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

What affects the price in East Stoke
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Questions from East Stoke
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How do I get a price for sink repair in East Stoke?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BH20 postcode.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
