Sink repair in Downfield without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace in Downfield?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
