Sink repair at your home in Dodington
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Dodington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dodington. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dodington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Your questions about sink repair in Dodington
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Everywhere in the UK, Dodington included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
