How we handle sink repair in Gorof
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- 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 the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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 Gorof
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Powys. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
