About our sink repair in Rew Street
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips and a chipped vanity basin.
Somewhere like Rew Street, you may still have period sanitaryware, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
