10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit 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 generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

Winterborne Stickland questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How much does sink repair cost in Winterborne Stickland?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DT11 postcode.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Winterborne Stickland, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
