Sink repair in Maer without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Maer questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
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.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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.
Repair or replace in Maer?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Maer, 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.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
