Advice
Sink repair in Goonvrea, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and a crazed, tired basin, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Goonvrea
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Goonvrea
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goonvrea as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
