How we handle sink repair in Lambourne
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Lambourne: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
