  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How we handle sink repair in Hamworthy

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hamworthy and across Dorset.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hamworthy. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Hamworthy questions

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What sink repair costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BH15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Hamworthy

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
