Sink repair in Guardbridge, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we do, step by step

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
