What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Sink repair at your home in Dunsley
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and crazing in the glaze.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dunsley as everywhere else we work.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
If you are in Dunsley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Repairing versus replacing in Dunsley
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
