Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Landlord and trade work in Brooksbottoms
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Brooksbottoms, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
