Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How we handle sink repair in Lye's Green
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Lye's Green
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95.

Repairs by material
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
