Sink repair in Elsworth, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
