Sink repair in Canvey Island without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
