Sink repair in An t-Ollach without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials we work on in An t-Ollach
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
For anyone letting property in or around An t-Ollach, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Your questions about sink repair in An t-Ollach
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in An t-Ollach.
How much does sink repair cost in An t-Ollach?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IV51 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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 typically cheaper.
