Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How we handle sink repair in Tang Hall
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Do you need sink repair in Tang Hall?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
