About our sink repair in Cattawade
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Cattawade
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
