What we are called out for in Salway Ash
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salway Ash as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about sink repair in Salway Ash
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Across the UK, so Salway Ash is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
