Dormers Wells: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
