Sink repair at your home in St Columb Road
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What your basin is made of matters
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
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common problems we fix in St Columb Road
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
