Common questions in Dorcan
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Swindon.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you cover Dorcan?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dorcan and the rest of Swindon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
What affects the price in Dorcan
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
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.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
