When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it. Around Sidley, access and parking are generally easy. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book and we will plan for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
