About our sink repair in Friar Waddon
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Friar Waddon and across Dorset.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Friar Waddon questions
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Friar Waddon included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Friar Waddon.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
