- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Your questions about sink repair in Higher Wincombe
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Higher Wincombe
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Wincombe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
