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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Timberland Dales
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Timberland Dales?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you need sink repair in Timberland Dales?
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Common reasons people in Timberland Dales contact us are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
