How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Signs you need sink repair in Drybridge
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
