How we handle sink repair in Lawnswood
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- 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 get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Lawnswood questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
