How we handle sink repair in Britford
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Britford
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Repairs by material
Vitreous china

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
