Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Sturminster Marshall?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sturminster Marshall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • 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 nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Do you need sink repair in Sturminster Marshall?

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sturminster Marshall

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
