Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Southill
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Southill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Southill and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
When to call us in Southill
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
