Sink repair at your home in Braeside
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
