Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Sink repair at your home in Danderhall
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Danderhall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Questions from Danderhall
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Danderhall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
