Sink & basin repair in Whiteway, Bristol
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homes and businesses in Whiteway and across Bristol. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, 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.
Sink repair in Whiteway without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and an original basin worth saving.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whiteway and across Bristol.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
