For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Your questions about sink repair in Coleraine

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Coleraine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Signs you need sink repair in Coleraine

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Coleraine and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
