Sink repair in Hilderthorpe without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Hilderthorpe
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
