- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare

Advice
How we handle sink repair in Springbourne
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

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 and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
