About our sink repair in Portfield
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. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Questions from Portfield
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portfield
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portfield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
