Sink repair in Old Woking without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
