Why repair rather than replace?
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 charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dagnall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Landlord and trade work in Dagnall
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Dagnall
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Customers normally contact us about:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
FAQs for Dagnall
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work in Dagnall?
We do. We send a technician to Dagnall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
