About our sink repair in Exbourne
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about sink repair in Exbourne
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Landlord and trade work in Exbourne
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Exbourne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Exbourne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Exbourne
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 often 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 usually the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

- Chips on the rim or front edge

What we do, step by step

- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
