When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Milborne Wick: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
