Sink repair in Puddletown, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Puddletown
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What we are called out for in Puddletown
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
