The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Your questions about sink repair in Knighton Heath
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you work in Knighton Heath?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Knighton Heath and the rest of Bournemouth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Knighton Heath.
What we are called out for in Knighton Heath
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knighton Heath as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Knighton Heath
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Repairing versus replacing in Knighton Heath
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
