Damaged basin in Congerstone? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Sink repair in Congerstone without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled 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.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Congerstone: your questions answered
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How much does sink repair cost in Congerstone?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CV13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Congerstone. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
