About our sink repair in Dunston
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
Dunston: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Norfolk.
Landlord and trade work in Dunston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Dunston
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunston. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Dunston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
