How we handle sink repair in Garthdee
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace in Garthdee?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Garthdee
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you cover Garthdee?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Garthdee. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Landlord and trade work in Garthdee
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in Garthdee, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Garthdee
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
