Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle sink repair in Coldstream
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets

- Leaks from the fittings
