DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
Sink repair in Brascote without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brascote
For anyone letting property in or around Brascote, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
