Sink repair in Toll Bar without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Toll Bar
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Toll Bar use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we’re called out for in Toll Bar
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Toll Bar questions
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How much does sink repair cost in Toll Bar?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN5 postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What affects the price in Toll Bar
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Toll Bar, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
