For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dockeney use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Dockeney
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR34 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
