About our sink repair in Richmond Hill
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
If you are in Richmond Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Richmond Hill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bournemouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Richmond Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
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.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BH2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
