Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Dalwood

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An antique basin with chips

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Dalwood

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Dalwood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
