Sink repair in Lansdowne without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When to call us in Lansdowne
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

- Belfast and butler sinks

Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Lansdowne
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Lansdowne?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lansdowne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it 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 usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
