About our sink repair in Dogslacks
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dogslacks
If you manage property in Dogslacks, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
