Do you need sink repair in Dullingham?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Dullingham questions
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover Dullingham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dullingham and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Landlord and trade work in Dullingham
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dullingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
