Sink repair in Douglas, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

More services for Douglas
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Do you need sink repair in Douglas?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
