Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What else we do in Lower Dicker
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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 a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Lower Dicker

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Lower Dicker?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you remove the sink?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
