The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 often lifts.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
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
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What else we do in Dodworth

FAQs for Dodworth
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Dodworth?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Dodworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
