Sink repair at your home in Dawsholm

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and fine cracks across the glaze.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Dawsholm questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Which areas do you work in?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.

What we are called out for in Dawsholm

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dawsholm as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
