How we handle sink repair in Mosswood
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries.
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.

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Mosswood
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
