How we handle sink repair in Furnace
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Most customers in Furnace get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
