Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair at your home in Achddu
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about sink repair in Achddu
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Achddu?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
