Sink repair in Dore, done in place
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We are often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Dore
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Common problems we fix in Dore
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Dore, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Dore
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No extra charge for your area

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Your questions about sink repair in Dore
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Dore?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your S17 postcode.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dore. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
