Advice
Sink repair at your home in Symondsbury
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about sink repair in Symondsbury
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Symondsbury
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Symondsbury use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
When to call us in Symondsbury
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Common reasons people in Symondsbury contact us include:
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
