Sink repair at your home in Sapcote
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we’re called out for in Sapcote
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sapcote use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Sapcote: your questions answered
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
