About our sink repair in Folkington
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
