I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Sink repair in Plummers Plain, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.
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.

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
When to call us in Plummers Plain
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
