About our sink repair in Mentmore
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
