How we handle sink repair in Barrow
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
