How we handle sink repair in Ballymena
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Ballymena
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK

Ballymena: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.
