The Dings questions
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so The Dings is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for sink repair in The Dings?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What affects the price in The Dings
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for The Dings. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
For a price in The Dings, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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 generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Do you need sink repair in The Dings?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
