Sink repair in North Roe without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and crazing in the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in North Roe
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in North Roe
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
North Roe: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to North Roe. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
