Sink repair at your home in Summergangs
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Summergangs get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Summergangs questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
