What affects the price in Stourpaine
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Stourpaine
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stourpaine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
