Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dicklant

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Do you need sink repair in Dicklant?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Dicklant questions

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Do you come to Dicklant?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Dicklant. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

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

How much does sink repair cost in Dicklant?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your S45 postcode.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
