Questions from Dovendale
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dovendale. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Dovendale
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
