Sink repair in Melling Mount, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common reasons people in Melling Mount contact us are:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Melling Mount. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Melling Mount, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairing versus replacing in Melling Mount
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
