Sink repair at your home in Battledown Cross
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
