Sink repair at your home in Douglastown
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and a crack near the taps, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Douglastown get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Douglastown
- Belfast and butler sinks
