Sink repair at your home in South Heath
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in South Heath, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Repair or replace: which is better?
