About our sink repair in Ravelston
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. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Repairing versus replacing in Ravelston
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Ravelston clients choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Normally one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
