Sink repair in Southville without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Southville questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently 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.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NP44 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
