How we handle sink repair in Garscadden
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can normally put it right, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Widespread crazing

Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Your questions about sink repair in Garscadden
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
