What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need sink repair in Dinedor

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Your questions about sink repair in Dinedor

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dinedor. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Dinedor, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
