For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
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 is easier on the people living there.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Do you need sink repair in Higher Ansty?
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
