How we handle sink repair in Walton Elm
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
