Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Sink repair at your home in Lower Shelf
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
