How we handle sink repair in Gwinear Downs
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
