Sink repair at your home in Inglemire
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Questions from Inglemire
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Inglemire?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Inglemire.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What affects the price in Inglemire
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Inglemire. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Signs you need sink repair in Inglemire
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
