How we handle sink repair in Rackenford
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Rackenford, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from Rackenford

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rackenford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
