How we handle sink repair in Dalton-in-Furness

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dalton-in-Furness. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
