Sink repair in Great Shoddesden without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
