It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Dungate questions

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

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.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
