Sink repair in Whissendine without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Whissendine

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your basin is made of matters
