About our sink repair in Bishop's Nympton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, we can normally put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishop's Nympton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
