Sink repair in Dalton, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Dalton questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Dalton included. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Common problems we fix in Dalton

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A crack near the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Repair or replace in Dalton?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
