Sink repair in Tirabad without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
FAQs for Tirabad
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
