How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Sterte: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you cover the whole of Poole?
Across the UK, and that includes Sterte. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start 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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
