Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
How we handle sink repair in Drongan
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Drongan as everywhere else we work.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
