About our sink repair in Dunford Bridge
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dunford Bridge and across Barnsley.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common questions in Dunford Bridge
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in Dunford Bridge?
We do. We send a technician to Dunford Bridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Dunford Bridge?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
