Sink repair at your home in Maidenhall Estate
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Maidenhall Estate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What your basin is made of matters
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. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
