What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to South Poorton. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about sink repair in South Poorton
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common problems we fix in South Poorton
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
