Sink repair in Goonown, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Goonown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Goonown clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Goonown questions

Do you cover Goonown?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Goonown from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
