Sink Repair in Fort Matilda
Our technicians come to Fort Matilda for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we handle sink repair in Fort Matilda
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can normally put it right, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Fort Matilda and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Should you replace it?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Fort Matilda
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
