Sink repair for Dunmurry homes

Sink repair in Dunmurry without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we’re called out for in Dunmurry

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Dunmurry

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Questions from Dunmurry

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunmurry

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
