When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Signs you need sink repair in Dorrington

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Dorrington

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Dorrington: your questions answered

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire East?

Everywhere in the UK, Dorrington included. Travel is included in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
