Sink repair at your home in Woolgarston
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What affects the price in Woolgarston
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Woolgarston: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you come to Woolgarston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Woolgarston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Across the UK, so Woolgarston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
