Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When to call us in Winterborne Kingston
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

FAQs for Winterborne Kingston
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
