How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
For a price in Acaster Malbis, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
