Sink repair at your home in Wood End
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
