How we handle sink repair in Temple Mills
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 are often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Temple Mills and across Greater London.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple Mills
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
