Sink repair at your home in Dewartown
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and an original basin worth saving, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Do you need sink repair in Dewartown?
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
