DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Sink repair in Newhey, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and crazing in the glaze, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can pets and children be at home?
