Sink repair in Little Keyford, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and chips from dropped toiletries.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Little Keyford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
