Sink repair in The Middles without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and chips from dropped toiletries.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for The Middles
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
