Sink repair at your home in Grotton
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

- Let us know which floor the room is on

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repair or replace in Grotton?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
