What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair in Stoke Bank without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and cracks starting at the waste.
Somewhere like Stoke Bank, an older basin can be hard to match if replaced. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common problems we fix in Stoke Bank
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Rented homes near Nantwich station (about 3.6 miles south-east) change hands often, and repairing basins between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
