Advice
About our sink repair in Tixall
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Tixall
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Tixall
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Tixall
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
