About our sink repair in Voe
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Voe
Hospitality businesses cannot 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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Voe
How do I get a price for sink repair in Voe?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ZE2 postcode.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Voe?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Repairing versus replacing in Voe
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Voe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
