Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle 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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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 kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Netherbury: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How much does sink repair cost in Netherbury?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Netherbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
