Sink repair in Rothersthorpe, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can usually put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
