Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
