How we handle sink repair in Boarshead
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Boarshead
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Boarshead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Boarshead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
