How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Keele

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keele use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Questions from Keele
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work in Keele?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Keele. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need sink repair in Keele
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
