About our sink repair in Barnby Dun
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
