How we handle sink repair in Polyphant
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Polyphant questions
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
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.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
