- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
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.

Your questions about sink repair in Osmington
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Are there extra charges for Osmington?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Osmington

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
