Sink repair in Braunston-in-Rutland without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and a crazed, tired basin, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
