Sink repair in Trolliloes without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trolliloes. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Trolliloes get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Trolliloes, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
