What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we’re called out for in Mill Common
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Your questions about sink repair in Mill Common
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
