Sink Repair in Porthloo
Sink repair in Porthloo without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Sink repair in Porthloo without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with an antique basin with chips and a chipped basin edge, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Local landmarks in Porthloo

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Porthloo
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Porthloo and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in Porthloo
If you manage property in Porthloo, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthloo as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Do you need sink repair in Porthloo?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
