Questions from Glenmavis
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Sink repair in Glenmavis without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped basin edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Glenmavis and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Glenmavis
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we are called out for in Glenmavis
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
