Sink repair in Dordale without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can usually put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Dordale

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DY9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Common problems we fix in Dordale

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
