An Tairbeart: your questions answered
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PA29 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What affects the price in An Tairbeart
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for An Tairbeart. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
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.
