Sink repair at your home in Dolphin Town
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What else we do in Dolphin Town
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your photos

Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

- Aftercare advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
