About our sink repair in Hamstead Marshall
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

Why repair rather than replace?

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
