Sink repair in Wetherden without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Signs you need sink repair in Wetherden
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
