Sink repair in Ludworth without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
