How we handle sink repair in Netherton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Questions from Netherton
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Netherton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Netherton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
