Sink repair in Rawcliffe, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
