Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair in Dunstan, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Dunstan
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Dunstan: your questions answered
Do you come to Dunstan?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Dunstan from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunstan
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
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.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Dunstan get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
