Sink repair in Blackford, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before you book
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What affects the price in Blackford
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
