Sink repair at your home in Greenhills

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Greenhills

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you work in Greenhills?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Greenhills from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
