What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Dunsdale get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Dunsdale: your questions answered
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
