Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dormington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Dormington

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dormington

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dormington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
