About our sink repair in Waterside
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. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and crazing in the glaze, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Waterside
Landlord and trade work in Waterside
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Waterside
Are there extra charges for Waterside?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Do you need sink repair in Waterside?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
