Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wimborne Minster. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wimborne Minster. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Signs you need sink repair in Wimborne Minster
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
