Sink repair in Whitecairns, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What information do you need?

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, 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, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
