The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

What affects the price in Eype Mouth

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Choosing a repair company

Eype Mouth questions

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Eype Mouth?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Eype Mouth and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eype Mouth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
