Common problems we fix in Ballhill
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ballhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
