Sink repair in Ness without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and a chipped vanity basin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Ness, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ness use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When to call us in Ness
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common questions in Ness
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
