Sink & basin repair in Shirl Heath, Herefordshire
Damaged basin in Shirl Heath? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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.

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze.

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
