How we handle sink repair in Whitegate
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips around the rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitegate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Should you replace it?
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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
