About our sink repair in Winterbourne Steepleton
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Winterbourne Steepleton and across Dorset.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Winterbourne Steepleton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
