How we handle sink repair in Dickens Heath
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dickens Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dickens Heath use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
