About our sink repair in Motcombe

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Repairing versus replacing in Motcombe

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site

Do you need sink repair in Motcombe?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Motcombe

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

  • Where you are, by postcode
