About our sink repair in Mount Pleasant

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Common questions in Mount Pleasant

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Are there extra charges for Mount Pleasant?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
