Sink repair in Ballygown without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim

- Who will actually do the work

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What else we do in Ballygown
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ballygown
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
