Sink repair in Cosmeston Medieval Village

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we handle sink repair in Cosmeston Medieval Village

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you have knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, whatever the material.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
