How we handle sink repair in West Town
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
