How we handle sink repair in Port Tennant
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Port Tennant
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
