Repairing versus replacing in Dunwich
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Dunwich
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work in Dunwich?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dunwich. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What affects the price in Dunwich
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
