How we handle sink repair in Eddington
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Eddington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eddington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Eddington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
