The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Sink repair at your home in The Quar
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and a chipped vanity basin.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Signs you need sink repair in The Quar
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips

Landlord and trade work in The Quar
If you manage property in The Quar, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What else we do in The Quar
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t 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. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
