Dorking: your questions answered
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Dorking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RH4 postcode.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

For landlords and businesses

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
