Fixed-price sink repair in Coveney and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Sink repair in Coveney without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Coveney
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Coveney
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
