Sink Repair for Bughtlin homes
Damaged basin in Bughtlin? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Sink repair in Bughtlin without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
