- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle sink repair in Vulcan Village
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin 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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
