Sink repair in Stonebridge, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix crazing in the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stonebridge

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stonebridge

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
