Sink repair in Lee Chapel, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Lee Chapel

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

We do. Repair technicians travel to Lee Chapel from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lee Chapel. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

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

If you manage property in Lee Chapel, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
