About our sink repair in Smithstone
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What affects the price in Smithstone
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
