How we handle sink repair in Widcombe
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips from dropped toiletries.
In a smaller place like Widcombe, the jobs are mostly in family bathrooms. A chip is typically a short visit.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. Visits around Widcombe are usually simple: we park, protect the room and get started, after agreeing the plan with you.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

- A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. For a home around Widcombe where the basin is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
