Sink repair in South Wigston, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
