Sink repair in Sandwick, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Questions from Sandwick
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Sandwick is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How much does sink repair cost in Sandwick?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Landlord and trade work in Sandwick
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
