About our sink repair in Trimstone
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Signs you need sink repair in Trimstone
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Trimstone: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Trimstone.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Most clients in Trimstone get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Trimstone. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Trimstone, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
