About our sink repair in Sedgley
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and crazing in the glaze.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sedgley and across Dudley.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
