Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Sink repair at your home in Caldercruix

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.
