Sink repair in Padfield without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What else we do in Padfield

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace in Padfield?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
