Sink repair at your home in Tonge
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Do you need sink repair in Tonge?
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Common reasons people in Tonge contact us include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners

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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
