About our sink repair in Colney Butts
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 photos.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
