Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repairing versus replacing in Middle Dimson
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Middle Dimson. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Middle Dimson
What we’re called out for in Middle Dimson
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Middle Dimson
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
