Need sink repair in Antrim?

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we handle sink repair in Antrim

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips 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.

Questions from Antrim

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover Antrim?

We do. We send a technician to Antrim for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Our work in Antrim

Antrim is in Northern Ireland. We agree a date that works for you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so you’re not left waiting in all day.

We cover every part of BT41. We also travel to Ballymena (8 miles north), Newtownabbey (13 miles east), Whiteabbey (15 miles east), Magherafelt (15 miles west) and Dunmurry (16 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Near you in Antrim

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Parkhall Integrated College and the streets around them. A little further out are Shane's Castle ruins (less than half a mile west) and Holywell Hospital (2 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Randalstown Forest Nature Reserve.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

What affects the price in Antrim

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Signs you need sink repair in Antrim

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Antrim

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Antrim as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
