Sink repair in Cane End, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
