How we handle sink repair in Dalston
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on a built-in basin and chips from dropped toiletries.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Dalston
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Dalston questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dalston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
