Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
About our sink repair in Tipton
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.
FAQs for Tipton
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Do you need sink repair in Tipton?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

- How changes to the job are handled
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
