Sink repair in Great Altcar, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
