Your questions about sink repair in Dottery
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dottery. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
