Sink repair at your home in Woodlands
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and crazing in the glaze, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodlands
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodlands. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Woodlands
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Common questions in Woodlands
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Woodlands?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Woodlands and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Woodlands.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Most clients in Woodlands get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What we are called out for in Woodlands
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodlands use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
