FAQs for Dowally

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Dowally

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
