Sink Repair in Dudley Hill
Sink repair across Dudley Hill and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair in Dudley Hill without replacing anything
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Dudley Hill
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Dudley Hill?
We do. Technicians travel to Dudley Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What we’re called out for in Dudley Hill
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Repairs by material
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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
What affects the price in Dudley Hill
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
