How we handle sink repair in Gatcombe
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
