About our sink repair in The Raikes
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. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
