Sink repair in Larne, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Larne as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.

Do you need sink repair in Larne?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Where we work around Larne
Larne is in Northern Ireland. We travel to homes and businesses in Larne and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to.
Our visits in BT40 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you are just outside Larne, we cover Carrickfergus (8 miles south), Whiteabbey (12 miles south), Newtownabbey (13 miles south-west), Holywood (14 miles south) and Bangor (15 miles south-east). For island and remote addresses, call first so we can plan the visit.

Other landmarks nearby include Olderfleet Castle (0.5 miles east) and Larne Museum and Arts Centre (0.5 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Black Hill.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Advice
Larne: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How much does sink repair cost in Larne?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Larne as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
For a price in Larne, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
