Your questions about sink repair in Machroes
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you need sink repair in Machroes?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Look out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repairing versus replacing in Machroes
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Machroes. The price depends on:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Machroes
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
