How we handle sink repair in Haughhead

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped basin edge.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Haughhead

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haughhead use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Your questions about sink repair in Haughhead

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What affects the price in Haughhead

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Haughhead. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Haughhead and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
