About our sink repair in St Margarets
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in St Margarets
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

- Antique & period basins
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
