Sink repair at your home in Hardington Mandeville
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Hardington Mandeville
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
