Sink Repair across Cambridgeshire

Our sink repair service in Cambridgeshire

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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. A repair avoids all of that.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Questions from Cambridgeshire

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
