When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Sink repair in Bow, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Bow: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Bow?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
