DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle sink repair in Poole
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Your questions about sink repair in Poole
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does sink repair cost in Poole?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
