Sink Repair for Carryduff homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Carryduff. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our sink repair in Carryduff
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
When to call us in Carryduff
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Our work in Carryduff
Carryduff is about 4 miles south of Belfast, in Castlereagh. Anywhere in BT8, we carry out the work at your property.
Our technicians cover all of BT8. Other places close to Carryduff include Belfast (4 miles north), Dunmurry (5 miles west), Lisburn (5 miles south-west), Dundonald (6 miles north-east) and Newtownards (8 miles east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
Near you in Carryduff
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Newtownbreda High School, St Ita's Primary School and Former St Columba's Roman Catholic Church. Other landmarks nearby include Forestside Shopping Centre (1.6 miles north) and Museum Of Orange Heritage - Schomberg House (2.2 miles north). For a walk, there is Monlough and Bog Meadows.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carryduff use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
