Sink repair in South Down without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in South Down
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

- A chipped basin edge

- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around South Down, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in South Down, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Repairing versus replacing in South Down
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
