Sink repair in Ludwell without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Ludwell
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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.
FAQs for Ludwell
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Ludwell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
