Sink repair in Dacre Banks without replacing anything

Advice
Questions from Dacre Banks
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Dacre Banks
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dacre Banks. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
