What else we do in Little Dalby
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
