About our sink repair in Southborough
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southborough as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Southborough
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
