How we handle sink repair in Dalton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can typically put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Dalton
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you come to Dalton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dalton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dalton. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Dalton
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. 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.
Repair or replace in Dalton?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
