Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Sink repair in Dhustone, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dhustone. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
