Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gaunt's Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

- How easy the damage is to reach

Questions from Gaunt's Common
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Gaunt's Common?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gaunt's Common and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
