When a repair isn’t the answer

Sink repair in Docklow, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with a crack near the taps and an original basin worth saving, we can help, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we are called out for in Docklow

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common questions in Docklow
Do you come to Docklow?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Docklow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
