Sink repair at your home in Pleck
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and an original basin worth saving, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
When to call us in Pleck
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
