Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Astmoor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Astmoor
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
Repairing versus replacing in Astmoor
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
