How we handle sink repair in Hounslow
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
