Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
How we handle sink repair in Dodford
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Dodford
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you work in Dodford?
We do. We send a technician to Dodford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Dodford
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace in Dodford?

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
