What affects the price in Gwavas
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Sink repair in Gwavas, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gwavas as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about sink repair in Gwavas
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Gwavas
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price

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. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
