Sink repair in Highcliffe, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Highcliffe and across Dorset.

- Fine cracks across the glaze

- Chips around the rim

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Highcliffe
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover Highcliffe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Highcliffe and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Highcliffe
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Highcliffe
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
