Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Sink repair in Sutton in the Elms, done in place
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
