Sink repair in Turfdown without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Turfdown questions
Do you work in Turfdown?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Turfdown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will 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.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
