About our sink repair in Bangor

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What affects the price in Bangor

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bangor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BT19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need sink repair in Bangor

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
