How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Whitehouse Common
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- 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.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
