Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Sink repair in Prestwich, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
