About our sink repair in Galmpton
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 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 usually the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Repairs by material
Vitreous china

Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
