About our sink repair in Kirkwhelpington
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 antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
