Sink repair at your home in St Stephens
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries.
Every job is backed for twelve months in St Stephens and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in St Stephens
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in St Stephens, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
