Sink repair in West Cross, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and a chipped basin edge.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

See our full price list.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common questions in West Cross

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
