DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Sink repair in Dowsdale without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlord and trade work in Dowsdale
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
