How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t 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.
How we handle sink repair in Dimmer
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Dimmer
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Dimmer, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
