Sink repair in Farleigh without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Farleigh questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re 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.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
