Causeway End: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Causeway End
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Causeway End
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Causeway End
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Do you need sink repair in Causeway End?
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What to look for in a quote

- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
