Sink repair in Chatton without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we are called out for in Chatton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
