How we handle sink repair in Bilberry

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bilberry

Bilberry: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
