What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common problems we fix in Bangor

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Common reasons people in Bangor contact us include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Bangor

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
