How we handle sink repair in Portobello
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right

- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Your questions about sink repair in Portobello
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
