DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dauntsey Lock. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Dauntsey Lock

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Repair or replace in Dauntsey Lock?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Questions from Dauntsey Lock

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Dauntsey Lock?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
