DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Sink repair in Witherslack, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Witherslack as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Witherslack
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked basin?

Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
