Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Sink repair in Howgill, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Howgill
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
