How we handle sink repair in Snape Green
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Snape Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
