Repair or replace: which is better?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dunnockshaw. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our sink repair in Dunnockshaw
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about sink repair in Dunnockshaw
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are there extra charges for Dunnockshaw?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
