About our sink repair in Fulwell
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fulwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Fulwell
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Your questions about sink repair in Fulwell
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Fulwell
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
