Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Do you need sink repair in Longford?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
