Sink repair in Little Canford without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Little Canford and across Dorset.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Canford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Little Canford: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Little Canford?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Little Canford?

We do. We send a technician to Little Canford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need 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 are there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
