Sink repair in Meadowfield without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Meadowfield, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
