Sink repair in West Melbury without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips.
Every job is backed for twelve months in West Melbury and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What we do, step by step

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.

Work for landlords and builders

Questions from West Melbury
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you come to West Melbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Melbury and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
