Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Holt without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs

- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Holt. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Holt
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for Holt
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Holt?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Holt and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
