About our sink repair in St Day
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and chips on the rim or front edge, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Questions from St Day
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in St Day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Day as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
