Sink repair at your home in Thwing
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Thwing
For anyone letting property in or around Thwing, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
