Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Questions from Dulwich Village

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Dulwich Village?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dulwich Village. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Dulwich Village is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you accredited?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Dulwich Village

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dulwich Village. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole basin

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dulwich Village. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Dulwich Village

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
