DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle sink repair in Birkholme
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
