About our sink repair in Baltasound
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Your questions about sink repair in Baltasound
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How much does sink repair cost in Baltasound?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
