Sink repair at your home in Corton
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Common problems we fix in Corton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
