Sink repair in Inverinate without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Inverinate. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Inverinate, pictures 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.

Inverinate questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repair or replace in Inverinate?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
