DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need sink repair in Chippenham
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
