Trusted sink repair in Goathill

Sink repair at your home in Goathill

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Goathill and across Dorset.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Goathill

If you manage property in Goathill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Goathill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about sink repair in Goathill

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Goathill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Goathill

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
