Sink repair in Rousdon, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Rousdon questions
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Across the UK, and that includes Rousdon. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Where we work around Rousdon
Rousdon is about 10 miles south-east of Honiton, in Dorset. We travel to homes and businesses in Rousdon, so there is no workshop to go to. Our repair technicians cover all 462 towns and villages in Dorset.
All of DT7 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include School Lane and Combpyne Lane, and we cover them all. We also travel to Holcombe (2 miles north-east), Ware (2 miles east), Uplyme (2 miles north-east), Yawl (3 miles north-east) and Lyme Regis (3 miles east). Larger places within reach include Bridport (11 miles east), Beaminster (13 miles north-east), Allington (10 miles east), Charmouth (4 miles east), Burton Bradstock (12 miles east) and Bradpole (11 miles east).
What’s near Rousdon
We visit homes around Church of St Mary and The Woodroffe School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Axminster station, about 4.3 miles north. A little further out are Axminster Hospital (4.6 miles north) and Museum of Motoring Memories (2.9 miles west).
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
When to call us in Rousdon
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
