About our sink repair in Craigton

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
