About our sink repair in Penketh
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Penketh
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
