How we handle sink repair in Southchurch
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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 fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need sink repair in Southchurch
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
