How we handle sink repair in Copley
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
