Sink repair near Merrion

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Sink repair in Merrion, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

FAQs for Merrion

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover the whole of Pembrokeshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Repairing versus replacing in Merrion

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Merrion

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps

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. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Merrion. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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.
