How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
About our sink repair in Knighton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with chips around the rim and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Questions from Knighton
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
