Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair in Brèibhig, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Brèibhig
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
