Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Sink repair in Boulge without replacing anything

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Boulge

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Boulge

Repairing versus replacing in Boulge

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
