Questions from Minnigaff
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Minnigaff?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG8 postcode.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you come to Minnigaff?
We do. Technicians travel to Minnigaff from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Sink repair at your home in Minnigaff
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Minnigaff
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

About sink & basin repair
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Related advice
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
