Sink repair at your home in Castlehill
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks starting at the waste, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Castlehill
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Castlehill.
When to call us in Castlehill
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
