When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- Vanity unit basins

What affects the price in Bleak Hey Nook
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OL3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price

What else we do in Bleak Hey Nook
Common questions in Bleak Hey Nook
How do I get a price for sink repair in Bleak Hey Nook?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OL3 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
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 it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bleak Hey Nook
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
