About our sink repair in Dorrington

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

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

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Dorrington

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dorrington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

Should you replace it?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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