About our sink repair in Old Craighall
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What else we do in Old Craighall
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
