Sink repair across Wakefield: what to expect
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 a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Prices in Wakefield

Repairing versus replacing
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the damage happens
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
