Common questions in Milkwell
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We work UK-wide, so Milkwell is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Milkwell.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
