Sink repair at your home in Tinker Hey
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
