About our sink repair in Wareham
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

Wareham: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Wareham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Wareham
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Wareham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Wareham
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
