Sink repair in Yockleton, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What affects the price in Yockleton
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
