Sink Repair for Dunstable homes
Our technicians come to Dunstable for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Sink repair in Dunstable without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need sink repair in Dunstable
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunstable use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
