Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Sink repair in Thorpe-le-Soken, done in place
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. We are often asked to fix chips around the rim and fine cracks across the glaze, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Thorpe-le-Soken and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need sink repair in Thorpe-le-Soken?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
