Dolphinholme questions
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dolphinholme. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dolphinholme, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dolphinholme
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace in Dolphinholme?

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
