Sink repair in West Thirston, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in West Thirston and across Northumberland.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work

- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
