Questions from Higher Bockhampton
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Do you need sink repair in Higher Bockhampton?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips on the rim or front edge

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Higher Bockhampton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Higher Bockhampton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Higher Bockhampton customers choose us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our full price list.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
