How we handle sink repair in Greenhead
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Greenhead
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Do you need sink repair in Greenhead?

Clients typically contact us about:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
