Sink & basin repair in Southbourne, Dorset
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Southbourne, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.

Southbourne: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Southbourne?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How much does sink repair cost in Southbourne?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What affects the price in Southbourne
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Southbourne
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
