About our sink repair in Hatherleigh
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Hatherleigh questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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 and leave the character intact.
