How we handle sink repair in Fole
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Common problems we fix in Fole
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fole
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
