How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price

FAQs for Melbury Osmond
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace in Melbury Osmond?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Melbury Osmond. The price depends on:
- The material and finish

- How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
