What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Questions from Dry Drayton
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cambridgeshire.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
