Sink repair across Banbridge: what to expect
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
What it costs in Banbridge
Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that.

How the damage happens
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
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 repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Banbridge questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover Banbridge?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Banbridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
