Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair at your home in Lower Stondon
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Central Bedfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
