DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Tir-Nest: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you cover Tir-Nest?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tir-Nest from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tir-Nest use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What else we do in Tir-Nest
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tir-Nest. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Tir-Nest and want a price, 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.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Tir-Nest
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
