Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Signs you need sink repair in Watch House Green

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
