About our sink repair in Fontmell Magna
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Fontmell Magna
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Fontmell Magna. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
