Sink repair near Iwerne Minster

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. 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
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlords, agents and businesses in Iwerne Minster

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

Iwerne Minster questions

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Iwerne Minster?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Iwerne Minster and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
