How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
How we handle sink repair in Milton Abbas
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common questions in Milton Abbas
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
