Advice
About our sink repair in Barrow's Green
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace in Barrow's Green?
