DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Sink repair in Washpit, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

There may be a mild smell during the work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
