How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackawton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Your questions about sink repair in Blackawton
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Blackawton.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
