About our sink repair in Trow Green
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. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and chips from dropped toiletries, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.

FAQs for Trow Green
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
