Materials and what they mean for the repair

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Portstewart
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Portstewart. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Questions from Portstewart
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you come to Portstewart?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Portstewart from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portstewart
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
