Advice
How we handle sink repair in Dumplington
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Common problems we fix in Dumplington

- Chips around the rim

- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Dumplington
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
