Sink repair at your home in Portland
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Portland.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, Portland included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing

Surfaces we repair

- Enamelled basins
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
