- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Related advice
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Do you need sink repair in Greenside?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
