How we handle sink repair in Warter
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 regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Warter
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish

How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
