How we handle sink repair in Deadman's Cross
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
