Landlords, agents and businesses in Holcombe
If you manage property in Holcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common questions in Holcombe
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
