Sink repair near Oad Street

Sink repair at your home in Oad Street

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.

When to call us in Oad Street

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Oad Street

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Repairing versus replacing in Oad Street

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
