Sink repair at your home in Folke
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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 frequently lifts.

Folke: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Folke?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Folke and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Folke and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Folke
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
