About our sink repair in New Mills
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in New Mills
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
