Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Questions from Yetminster
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Yetminster and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Yetminster. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Yetminster
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Usually one visit, start to finish
