About our sink repair in Fairwater
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Fairwater
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What else we do in Fairwater
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Fairwater. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
