Sink repair at your home in Clapton
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
What we’re called out for in Clapton
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
